Could not connect to SERVADM.NetWare File System

NW 6.5 SP4, BE 9.2 Build 1391. My backups have been running fine until about 3 days ago. I now get the message: Could not connect to SERVADM.NetWare File System when starting my backups. The script has not changed and the login credentials are the same for the other 9 servers and they work without a problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Barry, I just consoled to the server and checked using modules TSAFS and it shows that it is loaded.

Make sure TSAFS is loaded on SERVADM.

Re: Could not connect to SERVADM.NetWare File System

If you go to the BE Admin Console and go to Jobs|Backup|Make
Selections, can you go to 'Agent SERVADM.NetWare File System' and open
it and browse through the file system?

If you can do that but your backup job still doesn't work, then you
probably need to recreate your backup job.

If not, refresh your agent list and try again. If that doesn't work,
do a BESTOP on SERVADM, followed by BESTART. Refresh your agent list
and try again.

Yes, I can.

I have created another backup job and set it to run tonight. Will let you know tomorrow.

Re: Could not connect to SERVADM.NetWare File System

Hi, Barry. I created a new backup script and it did the same thing. I then deleted BE from ServAdm and re-installed it. The backup still did not work. I checked the NDMPSVRS.DAT file and it is correct. Help!

Re: Could not connect to SERVADM.NetWare File System

I was able to fix my issue. I went to Install and Maintenance, Login Accounts and the account for Servadm was not the default login. I checked it and it works now.
